The consequences of poor maintenance on the chain of a Dacia Sandero

Model: Dacia Sandero B8 - Years 2012-2020
Part: Timing belt

In this video we see a distribution chain pushed to the limit on a Dacia Sandero Stepway: from the video we hear the metallic noise of the chain that really gives the impression of about to break at any moment. Of course, to do this operation we need to lift the car, remove the right wheel and the fender, and then remove the service belt. Once the cover of the chain distribution is removed, we see that it is loosened in an exaggerated way, due to the wear of the chain and the guides; the tensioner is almost out of its housing and the front guide is even split in two, and the chain was working metal on metal. Not only that: the two crowns have been damaged by the metal impact and must be replaced: yet the car has only 130,000 kilometers. What is the reason for such abnormal consumption? Certainly the low quality of the materials used in the construction, and then a lack of maintenance by the user.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
